Surprise, surprise: I’m here again. New day, new reportage from my small kitchen. If I’ve always dreamed of having a black table now I know that I don’t want it anymore. Let’s forget for a second that I’m an instagram maniac and that I love posting pictures of my food and dear lord Strasbourg is so foggy and grey and with a black table it’s impossible to take a good picture if you have no light, let’s forget it. The real thing is that it gets dirty in a second. You clean it, turn around, turn back, dirty again. After this experience I’ll forget that I wanted any black in my house, this for sure. But we’re here to talk about food and not furniture. What I’m cooking today is one of the most simple and at the same time more scenic recipes ever made. Everyone would think you’ve been working on it for ages, the real thing is that for most of the time you can take out your glass of wine, your book and wait while the things cook themselvs. This is artichokes’ magic, they make things look so pretty every time! It’s pretty healthy this time, just in case you can try to substitute the butter with olive oil, but even the butter is not that much!

I’ve been a ghost in the past six months, I know. I will tell you a secret: it’s practically impossibile to properly run a blog when you have a job that takes you 10 hours per day and you are also a student. Sad, sad story. This anyway, didn’t stopped me from taking pictures now and then of my new city, my outfits and, as you see today, my fancy food. I just had no time to look at them, to talk about them or write about them. But hey, today I’m here, I call it progress! This recipe that I will explain to you today was born from the passion that Alsacians (and me) have for scallops. Another thing that I can tell you is that you and your friends and family will get passionate about them too from the exact moment they will get out of the oven. This is what happened with my roommates (oh yes, did I told you that I have roommates now?); my fagottini never had the chance to see the light of the day, too bad for them, too good for us 😉 I would love to say that I can give you tips for the healthy version, but as you will see this is pretty fatty, the triumph of french cookery, so my advice to keep it healthy is to invite a lot of friends for an aperitif, serve this and you will have no time to eat more than two, they will disappear 😀
